Program Summary: Two-part Webinar Series

The quality of leadership in an organization has a significant impact on employee engagement, productivity, and retention, and on talent acquisition, customer service, and profitability. Merely hoping the cream will rise to the top (“survival of the fittest”) puts you at risk of losing many promising players and almost guarantees that you will have many prize employees who are under-developed, under-leveraged, and under-performing. Leadership talent is far too precious to waste. We need to be proactive in our talent development, strategically developing leaders and leadership at all levels: “development of the fittest.” This two-part webinar series will focus on identifying and developing high potentials and future leaders.
